Windows 10 October update now available

When I read through John Cable's blog originally I thought he was using an "in house" term that was available to users when they select to move the default file location of Documents, Pictures etc. when selecting Properties of the folder and then the Location tab. There is the option to Move files or select a new location for the files/folder.

If the user set a new location but does not accept the option to Move all existing files to the new location then the 1809 release was removing files still in the original location. I could of course be wrong as I don't know why a users would select a new location but not select to move existing files.

A user can select another HDD or OneDrive.

This function is not new and was part of Windows 7.

You would think that user files saved to OneDrive would always be recoverable by MS as part of their backup plan. As you would with Google Drive.

I guess MS will roll out the re-release of 1809 when they are confident the fix works correctly.

If I search within OneDrive in Edge for "Known Folder Redirection - KFR" I do not get KFR in the results. I get,

Not quite the same thing. So if I search within Edge for KFR one of the results I get is,

An article by Stephen Rose dated 27/06/2018. It discusses "Known Folder Move" KFM not KFR.

Reading down the article I come to, 

When will Known Folder Move be available?

• This feature will start to roll-out this week to our Targeted Release customers
• If you are an Office or Windows insider, you may start to see it next week
• KFM will be available to all users by the end of July.

Does this mean we can choose this or is it given to us in an update?

Further down the article we read,

What is the difference between Folder Redirection and Folder Migration?

• Folder Redirection redirects a local Windows folder to an equivalent folder in OneDrive but does not migrate any content from the local folder to OneDrive. That’s why folder redirection should only be used on brand new machines that don’t have existing content.
• Folder Migration redirects a local Windows folder to an equivalent folder in OneDrive and does migrate the content from the local folder to an equivalent folder in OneDrive. Folder migration can be used on brand new or existing devices with or without content.
• In general, we suggest you use folder migration over folder redirection whenever possible.

If as he says use Folder Migration (is this folder Move[ment]) wherever possible. Why does John Cable here

use the expression Known Folder Redirection - KFR?

Apologies if this is longwinded but I am a little confused here and would appreciate if some of my peers could enlighten me please?

1/ Are there Windows 10 users that have KFR on their computers enabled? And some that have KFR not enabled?

2/ Is KFR the same as KFM in all of it's names in the articles?

3/ Was KFR given to all Windows 10 Public Release users regardless of whether they had KFR enabled?

Confused,

Davy.

I do not remember being asked or accepting KFR, but I did use sync your documents folder with OneDrive I think.

I guess MS will roll out the re-release of 1809 when they are confident the fix works correctly.

When will the update be rolled out again? I keep literally everything in the OneDrive, but this whole missing files business sounds hairy.

Yes it is "JimWynne" but, its most likely that it has 100% to do with their imbedded software of whatever manufacturer that their comp is from! As imbedded software are not updated from 'most manufacturers' like MS does with W10, that is the manin cause of these problems and unfortunately the users are at the mercy of their brands. If you have a clean install of W10 then you will not encounter driver problems like 'GodithWeldon' has and many are complaining about. My Audio, BT, WiFi and Lan and all drivers "HAVE NOT" been affected by 1809 update and they are working perfectly.
